The Big Box stores only carry pine (yellow) and oak shoe and quarter molding. I wanted maple to match my cabinets and toe kick. I also bought more to finish off the cabinets where they joined the wall. This adds an elegant touch since four cabinets border two windows.

Make sure you measure several times and then cut the molding. This will save on wasted product. Remember: "Measure twice, cut once." Just make sure you measure correctly (spoken from experience).

Thank you Lumber Liquidators for being open on Sunday and late on Thursday. This accommodated my work and remodel schedule.

Redid my kitchen and dining room floor looked so good I also did hallway and foyer., the guys at the store I bought this from are great, very helpful and accomidating. I will tell everyone to shop at Lumber Liq.

I have gotten so many complements already from friends and other building residents. This flooring helped us make our loft feel like a french provencal home and might even open the door for our place to get featured in a magazine.
